Kasumi’s entire hair changes color to lilac purple. Her hair is now laid down and reaches her back. There’s a giant flower ornament on the left side of her head, making it stand out from its sheer size and darker shade of purple. Her eyes and eyelashes also change into a bright lilac purple color. She wears a bright pink short-sleeved Japanese kimono, with a dark, big purple obi, circling her waist with a big obi knot on the back. Her breasts are covered by bandages on the inside. There are two metallic lilac purple shoulder pads on each of her shoulders with one jagged spike, mimicking the shape of lightning on each. Her right forearm is covered in black ‘bandages’ from her palm up to near her elbow, leaving her fingers bare. While her entire left hand is fully covered in lilac purple armor with a design similar to that of a Japanese samurai. Down her waist, she wears a long, black pair of Japanese baggy pants that cover down to her ankles. She also wears white socks and a pair of pink wooden sandals.
*!*
Kasumi looked towards her left hand, and it was there, fully covered in lilac purple armor. Kasumi moves her left hand up and down, left and right. She twists it left and right. She moves all of her fingers separately, and they all move according to her will. She clenches it into a fist, and it follows her will.
“I have no idea that a Second State can allow something like this to happen. . .”
“. . .Kasumi-san.”
*?*
Kasumi looks towards Hana.
“Are you saying that you never had Second State before?”
“That is right. This is a first for me. I have no idea why this happened, though.”
“I would be fine if you already had this beforehand and you were just saving it till a moment where you really needed it. But the fact that you unlocked Second State mid-fight against me. . . ARE YOU SO INSISTENT ON GETTING IN MY WAY TO THE POINT OF UNLOCKING SECOND STATE?? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS, KASUMI-SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN??? WHY WOULD YOU GO SO FAR TO GET BETWEEN ME AND MY KAITO-SENPAI?? ARE YOU JEALOUS OF OUR LOVE? IS THAT IT?”
“How can I be jealous of something I have no idea existed? I don’t want to be rude, but I don’t really care about that Hana-san.”
Kasumi takes a stance to use her Iai technique that she could no longer do with one hand.
“(Maybe with this form, I can perfect my Iai technique. Combine it with my own developed fighting style to create something new.)”
There was no katana, but Kasumi’s right hand was still gripping nothing as if there was a katana at her waist.
“Kasumi style.”
*ZAP ZRRRRKKKKKSKSSSS*
In her right hand, a purple lightning bolt appears in the shape of a thin katana, 2 meters in length. The purple katana sparks wildly and sparks small lightning charges to random directions around her.
*ZAP ZRRRRKKKSSSS*
And then purple lightning also appears and engulfs Kasumi’s entire body. They also rage wildly and spark violently in random directions.
*!*
*ZRAAASSHHHH*
*ZRRRRTTTT ZRRRRKKKSSSSS*
“AAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!!”
Kasumi moves at the speed of lightning. She approached Hana and slashed her diagonally on her torso, and went past her, appearing two meters behind.
*thud*
Hana falls to her knees, and her blood is dropping to the floor.
*SSSSSSHHHHHH*
The wound on Hana’s torso quickly smokes black, and it quickly closes itself.
“YOUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!”
She turns around in anger to face Kasumi. She saw that Kasumi’s posture after her Iai technique is flawless. Her bodily position is perfect, her expression is calm, and her heart posture bears no hatred.
“RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Seeing Kasumi’s form, Hana loses the last qualities of herself.
“KRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!”
Her scream also changes drastically. Now it sounded like a mix of a bird and a human screech.
*GROOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
Her entire body was swallowed by a pitch black sphere, and there was a black light shooting from the top. The black light penetrates through the sky ceiling above without destroying it, as it simply passes through it. And then the black sphere cracks, and black mist is spilling out in large quantities.
Hana emerges, and her entire shape and form are completely different. Hana now has long, wavy black hair. She also has very pale white skin, which is an actual color of white rather than a white skin color. Her eyes were black and red. She wears a feathery black gown that leaves her upper torso bare, that reaches past her knees, and she is now about 3 meters tall. Her breasts also grew a lot bigger than previously. She looks very human, but there’s this feeling that Kasumi feels that she isn’t exactly one.
*BWOOOSSHHH*
*FLAP*
*BWOOOOSSHHHH*
‘Hana’ flies really fast towards Kasumi, and when she reaches her, she immediately flaps her two black feathery wings, sending a powerful air blast at her.
*ZAP ZRRRTTTTSSS*
Kasumi was engulfed by her own purple lightning. She moved out of the way in lightning speed and vanished from her spot. ‘Hana’s’ air blast hits the sky wall at the far back and disperses on contact.
*ZAAAPPPP ZRRRTTTSSSS*
Kasumi appears behind ’Hana’ and slashes her with her katana-shaped purple lightning. But ‘Hana’ reacted fast as well and blocked her slash by folding in her two pitch black wings. Upon impact, black feathers scatter all around both of them in the air.

*ZRRRKKKKSSSSS*
All of the scattered black feathers start sparking red lightning at the same time.
*ZRRRRTTT*
All of the black feathers emit a gigantic red lightning discharge at close range at both of them. But Kasumi engulfed herself with her purple lightning and moved out of the way. She appeared about 5 meters away from her. Once the red lightning disperses, Kasumi approaches her immediately at lightning speed.
“Kasumi style.”
*!!!*
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!”
*ZZRRRRRTTTTT*
‘Hana’ screams. She lifts her right hand, and red lightning sparks violently from it. Kasumi approaches her, flying through the air without any fear.
“KRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”
‘Hana’ swings her red lightning imbued fist at the incoming Kasumi.
“THUNDEROUS DOUBLE IAI SLASH!!”
*ZRRAAASSSHHH*
*ZRAAASSSHHHH*
“KRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Kasumi moves faster than ‘Hana’. She easily avoided her punch and slashed her twice on her torso, creating an X-shaped wound. Kasumi lands behind ‘Hana’, but then she immediately moves again.
*ZRRRTTTSSS*
“(Don’t stop! Second State lasts for five minutes! Normally, five minutes is a plenty amount of time in a fight, but against an opponent who can heal very quickly, it is not enough!)”
*ZRAAASSSHHHH*
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!”
Kasumi slashed Hana on the back, and then she immediately turned around to flap her right wing to hit Kasumi, but Kasumi immediately moved away again.
“(KEEP GOING!!)”
Kasumi repeatedly moves through the entire room, bouncing on the floor, the walls, and the ceiling over and over again. For every 5th time she hit either the floor, the walls, or the ceiling, she immediately approaches ‘Hana’ and lands a clean slash on any of her available body parts.
*ZRAAASSSSHHH ZRAAASSSSHHH ZRAAASSSSHHH ZRAAASSSSHHH ZRAAASSSSHHH ZRAAASSSSHHH*
*KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
‘Hana’ tried to counter every last one of Kasumi’s attacks, but Kasumi was moving even faster than her. None of her attempts to intercept Kasumi’s attack has been successful.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”
*ZRRRRRRTTTTTTTT*
After only 60 seconds, Kasumi had slashed ‘Hana’ 125 times on various parts of her body. ‘Hana’ was slashed 15 times on her left hand, 13 times on her right hand, 18 times on her left leg, 22 times on her right leg, 32 times on her torso, and 25 times on her back.
*ZRRRTT*
Kasumi wanted to keep going without any intention of slowing down, but ‘Hana’ suddenly changes her response.
*ZRRRRRTTT ZRRRRKKKKSSSS*
*!!!*
Her entire body is engulfed by her red lightning, and it sparks violently in random directions.
*ZAP*
One of her red lightning discharges even hits as far as the sky wall.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!”
Suddenly, a massive red electric discharge spread out towards the entire room.
“(OH NO!)”
*ZAP ZRRRTTT*
Kasumi reacted quickly. She engulfs herself again with her purple lightning and moves at lightning speed towards Luna, whose unconscious body is lying on the floor near the wall, west of the room.
*ZRRRRKKKKSSSSS*
“Kasumi style: LIGHTNING HAZARD!!”
Kasumi lands right in front of Luna, and she spreads both of her hands forward. She creates a giant purple lightning sphere that traps both her and Luna inside.
*ZRRRRAAAAARRRRRRRR*
*GROOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
“UURRGGGHH!!!”
Kasumi instantly felt a very heavy pressure once ‘Hana’s’ red lightning discharge hit her protective barrier.
“HRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!”
*ZRRRRRRKKKKSSSSS*
She exerts as much lightning from her entire body as possible to push back against ‘Hana’s’ giant red lightning discharge.
“(I already let Luna-dono get hurt once. I’M NOT GONNA LET IT HAPPEN A SECOND TIME!!)”
“HHRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!”
Kasumi felt the pressure get heavier by the second, and she exerted all of her physical strength to hold on.
*ZRRRRRRRRRKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSS*
*ZRRAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR*
*GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
. . . . .
After an intense 15 seconds, the red lightning discharge disperses quickly.
“. . .”
Kasumi discards her protective barriers, and she immediately turns around to check on Luna.
“. . .”
*Sigh*
Kasumi lets out a sigh of relief the moment she realizes that Luna is completely fine.
*!!!*
*ZRRRRRAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR*
Kasumi immediately felt harm coming from behind. She quickly turns around to see what ‘Hana’ is doing.
*ZRAAAAAARRRRRRR*
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
‘Hana’ raises her right hand above her head, and she is holding a red lightning lance. Her red lightning lance is 2 meters in length, and she’s already in a position to throw it at both Kasumi and Luna.
“(Why do I have a feeling that that is going to explode? I have to intercept it before she throws it!!)”
*ZAP ZRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTT*
Kasumi engulfs herself with her purple lightning.
*ZRKS*
She approaches Hana at lightning speed. She also opens both of her hands, and two katana-shaped lightning appear on each of them.
“Kasumi style.”
As she reaches ‘Hana’, she pulls back both of her katana-shaped lightning to the side.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
“THUNDER CLAP DOUBLE FLASH!!”
‘Hana’ throws her red lightning lance at Kasumi, and Kasumi swings both of her katana-shaped lightning at her lance.
*ZRAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRR*
*ZRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT*
*GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
*ZRRRRRKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS*
Kasumi’s two katana-shaped lightnings hit ‘Hana’s red lightning lance.
*ZRAARR ZRAAARR ZRAAARRR*
Multiple red and purple lightning sparks in random directions from the center of the clash. They randomly hit the floor, ceiling, and walls, though none of those lightning strikes actually leave burnt marks on them, as this entire room is merely made up by the Game Master.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
“HHRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
*ZRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRR*
Kasumi swings her hands in full, and she destroys ‘Hana’s’ red lightning spear.
*!!*
“(I DID IT!! KEEP GOING!!)”
Kasumi swings her right ‘katana’ at ‘Hana’s’ neck.
*ZRAAARRRR*
‘Hana’ punches and destroys Kasumi’s ‘katana’ with ease. Kasumi swings her left ‘katana’ at her waist.
*FLAP*
*ZRAARRR*
‘Hana’ flaps her right wing, and it destroys Kasumi’s katana. ‘Hana’ thrusts her left wing forward at Kasumi’s right waist.
*ZRRRRTTTT*
Kasumi engulfs herself in her purple lightning, reacting faster than ‘Hana’s wing movement.
*GRAB*
She grabs ‘Hana’s’ left wing with both of her hands, stopping it from reaching her waist.
“HRMPH!”
Kasumi immediately pulls ‘Hana’s’ wing as hard as she could.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”
But ‘Hana’ resists the pull with her pure physical strength.
“KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!”
*!!!*
‘Hana’ creates four red lightning spears above Kasumi. She swings her right hand down, and the four lightning spears descend towards her at lightning speed.
“Tch!”
*ZRAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRR*
*GROOOOOOOOOOOOO*
Kasumi had no choice but to let go of her hold on her wing. She engulfs herself in her purple lightning and moves away from her spot. She lands 3 meters away from ‘Hana’ while a small red lightning discharge occurs at the spot where she stood, where the four red lightning spears hit the floor.
*!!*
But she soon realizes that her black feathers have all scattered, floating around her.
*WUSH*
*ZRRRTTT*
*DAHK*
One of the black feathers launched itself at Kasumi’s left toe, moving almost at the speed of sound. But Kasumi reacted faster and simply moved her leg a bit, and the black feather hit the floor.
*!!!*
*WUSH WUSH WUSH WUSH WUSH WUSH WUSH WUSH WUSH*
The rest of the black feathers are all moving at Kasumi at the same time, with each black feather moving at slightly different rates. Kasumi moves at the speed of lightning and dodges all of the incoming black feathers.
“(This is bad!)”
*DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK DAHK*
Kasumi keeps dodging the black feathers, and most of them hit the floor and miss her.
“(If this keeps going---)”
A black feather flew at her right arm, and she simply raised it slightly above, avoiding it.
“(--I can’t hit her back--)”
A black feather flew at her left thigh, and she moved her thigh only slightly out of the way.
“(--for being too busy to dodge!)”
A black feather flew at her neck, and she moved away slightly from her spot, making it missed her neck.
“(Not too mention, my Second State doesn’t last forever!)”
Another black feather moved towards her belly, and she twisted her entire body, dodging the feathers with minimal movements.
“(But whatever is currently possessing her, that pitch black angelic woman form of hers, seems to last as long as she’d like!)”
Kasumi’s various body parts were constantly aimed almost at the same time by ‘Hana’s relentless black feathers, but she handled each feather with perfect measures by dodging ever so slightly, completely moving her targeted body parts out of harm’s way. She dodges every single black feather coming her way effectively for almost an entire two and a half minutes.
“(MY SECOND STATE IS GOING TO RUN OUT SOON!! I NEED TO DO SOMETHING!!)”
